Press corner The aim of this page is to facilitate communication for anyone who wishes to spread the word about the initiative. In the following sections, you will find material curated specifically for you to easily and quickly create articles, blogs or social media posts about the European Digital Identity Wallet EU Digital Identity Wallets are personal digital wallets, issued by
Member States,
in the form of apps, allowing every citizen to digitally identify themselves,
store and manage identity data and official documents in digital form. The EU Digital Identity Wallet improves on current e-ID systems, by
offering personal digital wallets that are safe, free, convenient to use, protect
personal data and can be used all over the EU to identify yourself online and to share
electronic documents. The EU Digital Identity Framework was adopted on May 20 2024. The first batch of Implementing Acts were published and opened for public consultation on August 12 2024. Once voted, Member States will have 24 months to offer at least one wallet to citizens, residents, and businesses. Every time an App or website asks us to create a new digital identity or to easily log on via a big platform, we have no idea what happens to our data in reality. That is why the Commission will propose a secure European e-identity. One that we trust and that any citizen can use anywhere in Europe to do anything from paying your taxes to renting a bicycle. A technology where we can control ourselves what data is used and how. State of the Union address, 16 September 2020 President of the European Commission
